An order of Entomostraca including a large number of species, most of which live in fresh water. They have flattened or leaflike legs, often very numerous, which they use in swimming. Called also {Branchiopoda}. [1913 Webster] Note: In some, the body is covered with a bivalve shell (Holostraca); in others, as Apus, by a shield-shaped carapace (Monostraca); in others, like Artemia, there is no carapace, and the body is regularly segmented. Sometimes the group is made to include also the Cladocera. [1913 Webster] Branchiopoda \Bran"chi*o*poda\, n. pl. [Gr. ? gill + -poda: cf. F. branchiopode.] (Zo["o]l.)

It includes the fresh-water genera Branchipus, Apus, and Limnadia, and the genus Artemia found in salt lakes. It is also called {Phyllopoda}. See Phyllopoda, Cladocera.
